The St. Louis Blues have announced that goaltender Thomas Greiss will be out for the remainder of the season with a lower-body injury. Greiss played in 21 games for the Blues and will finish the season with a 7-10-0 record to go with a .895 save percentage and a 3.64 GAA. He underwent a procedure this past Monday and it was speculated that it would sideline him until the end of the year.
Greiss was signed in the offseason as a backup to Jordan Binnington and struggled in his first season with the Blues. It was his 14th season in the NHL and his second season in a row where he put up a save percentage under .900.
Greiss had a tremendous five-year run with the New York Islanders from 2015-2020 which saw him win 101 games and put up a save percentage of .915. However, by the time Greiss signed in St. Louis late last summer, there was talk that he nearly retired due to a lack of interest in his services.
Now given his struggles over the past two seasons it seems possible that the 37-year-old could hang up his skates after this season. It’ll be interesting to see what Greiss does, there remains a possibility that he could still find work as a backup, given how thin the free-agent goaltending market will be this summer.
